ARTNER<br />
The Artner <strong>Wine</strong>ry is situated in the heart<br />
of the Carnuntum wine-growing area<br />
in the town of Höflein. Forty hectares<br />
of vineyards are cultivated predominantly on<br />
chalk and loess soils. These chiefly south-facing<br />
sites benefit from the climatic influence of<br />
both Lake Neusiedl and the Danube River.<br />
The Artner <strong>Wine</strong>ry specializes in the autochthon<br />
varieties Zweigelt and Blaufränkisch.<br />
Particularly when matured in small oak barrels,<br />
these varieties develop a unique style with<br />
an incredibly concentrated, fruity structure.<br />
This producer sets a benchmark for outstanding<br />
quality for a modest, competitive price<br />
each year with its regional blend “Rubin Carnuntum”<br />
Zweigelt Barrique. The Artner family<br />
also has years of experience with the international<br />
varieties Cabernet Sauvignon and<br />
Merlot and achieves complex harmonious varietal<br />
wines with good aging potential. Syrah<br />
is the variety that best shows this vintner’s passion<br />
and consistently achieves international<br />

accolades. “Amarok” is a blend of Zweigelt<br />
and Syrah and has long established itself as the<br />
flagship of the house. The “massive a.” has<br />
evolved into a cult wine with which Artner exhibits<br />
the potential of Syrah in Austria. This<br />
wine is produced only in exceptional vintages.<br />
The assortment of white wines includes several<br />
excellent, regional varietal wines. The producer’s<br />
Grüner Veltliners stand out with pronounced<br />
spicy fruit and harmonious acidity.<br />
Even varieties like Sauvignon Blanc and Gelber<br />
Muskateller (Muscat Blanc à petits grains)<br />
thrive marvellously in the Carnuntum region.<br />
In particular the reserve wines (Grüner Veltliner<br />
Steinacker Reserve, Sauvignon Blanc and<br />
‘massive a. weiss’ from 100 % Chardonnay)<br />
show the great white wine potential of the region.<br />
The family also operates two exclusive<br />
gourmet restaurants in Vienna with a focus on<br />
traditional local dishes as well as the innovative<br />
Josper Grill restaurant. The wines and the<br />
goat cheese specialities from the family’s farm<br />
can be enjoyed on the premises or purchased<br />
for take-away at the wine tavern in the old<br />
farmhouse in Höflein.<br />
